A 'dired' buffer should open up in which you should see your .emacs file (if you want to put it in a different directory, you can set the HOME environment variable). Next, you need to open the file and follow the instructions in http:// orgmode.org/manual/Installation.html#Installation to set the load- path to the new version of org-mode and require org-install (don't worry about the make commands: you will need to install cygwin or something like it to get that working). You may need to get rid of the old version of org-mode before it will pick up the new one. If so, you can open the old file by typing Alt- x find-library, press enter, type 'org' and press enter again. Then type Ctrl-x Ctrl-f and press enter to find its location. Delete the file (after backing it up somewhere of course) and restart emacs.
